Jack and Nora are joined by actor, writer, and TTRPGer Jen Coles (she/they) to discuss #37 on Vanity Fair’s list of the 42 Best Romantic Comedies of All Time: Kissing Jessica Stein. In this episode, Nora fangirls over Tovah Feldshuh, Jack channels Tony Soprano, and Jen balances it all out with some truly heartfelt analysis. Stock up on pamphlets, blend those lipsticks, and let’s meet “a very nice girl”!

Topics include:

• Adapting from stage to screen
• Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde (2003)
• Compulsory heterosexuality

Mysteries we still haven’t solved:

• What *did* Sex and the City 2 do to Stanford and Anthony?!
• Is arugula actually one of the more expensive greens?
